I 

'YjlHEN I shall go where my Redeemer is, 

In the far City, on the other side, 
And at the threshold of His palaces 

Shall loose my sandals ever to abide, 
I know my Heavenly King will smiling wait 
To give me welcome as I touch the gate. 



II 

/JT\H, joy! oh, bliss! for I shall see His face, 

And wear His blessed Name upon my brow ; 
That Name which stands for pardon, love and grace, 

That Name before which every knee shall bow ; 
No music half so sweet can ever be, 

As that dear Name which He shall write for me. 



Ill 

/BROWNED with this royal signet I shall walk, 

With lifted forehead through the eternal street, 
And with a holier mien and gentler talk, 

Will tell my story to the friends I meet ; 
Of how the King did stoop His Name to write 
Upon my brow in characters of light.

IV 

T^HEN, till I go to meet my Father's smile, 

I'll keep my forehead smooth from passion's scars 
From angry frowns that trample and defile 

And every sin that desecrates and mars, 
That I may lift a face unflushed with shame, 

Whereon my Lord may write His holy Name.
